HISTIN data set

The HISTIN data set for the Export Utility contains the user's description of the processing to be done by the Export Utility.

Format

This data set usually resides in the input stream. However, it can also be defined as a sequential data set or as a member of a partitioned data set.

It must contain 80-byte fixed-length records. BLKSIZE, if coded, must be a multiple of 80.

This data set can contain one PROC statement and one or more DATABASE and OPTION statements. Control statements can be coded as shown in the following figure.

Unlike in the case of FABGHIST, the ENDPROC statement is not required for FABGXEXP. Do not specify ENDPROC.
